some simple way of identifying the tea
to the public must be adoptcd,s SO that all
may recognize it; and this Is why the
little symbol "IIc-No" is adopted aud

nothing, and it is simply q trademark to
further enable, tho purchasers to know
they are getting tho tea that this adver.
tiscment Is about. It is packed in paper
bags, Of which the cut at tho head Of this
advertisement IS afac-similc.
